11 * dh_installchangelogs: Fall back to looking for changelog files ending
12 with ".txt". Closes: #498460

14 complaining about it when it's empty. Closes: #498666
15 * dh: Fix typo in example. Closes: #500836
16 * Allow individual debhelper programs to define their own special options
17 by passing a hash to init(), which is later passed on the Getopt::Long.
19 * Move many command-specific options to only be accepted by the command
20 that uses them. Affected options are:
21 -x, -r, -R, -l, -L, -m,
22 --include-conffiles, --no-restart-on-upgrade, --no-start,
23 --restart-after-upgrade, --init-script, --filename, --flavor, --autodest,
24 --libpackage, --add-udeb, --dpkg-shlibdeps-params,
25 --dpkg-gencontrol-params, --update-rcd-params, --major, --remove-d,
26 --dirs-only, --keep-debug, --version-info, --list-missing, --fail-missing,
27 --language, --until, --after, --before, --remaining, --with
28 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
29 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
30 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
31 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
32 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

524 * dh_installudev: Install udev rules directly into /etc/udev/rules.d/, not
525 using the symlinks. MD has agreed that this is more appropriate for most
527 * That fixes the longstanding bug that the symlink was only made on brand
528 new installs of the package, rather than on upgrade to the first version
529 that includes the udev rules file. Closes: #359614
530 * This avoids the need to run udevcontrol reload_rules, since inotify
531 will see the file has changed. Closes: #414537
532 * dh_installudev: Add preinst and postinst code to handle cleanly moving
533 the rules file to the new location on upgrade.
534 * This would be a good time for the many packages that manage rules files
535 w/o using dh_installudev to begin to use it..
536 * Do script fragement reversal only in v6, since it can break certian
537 third party programs such as dh_installtex. Closes: #419060

544 package install. Closes: #415717
545 * prerm and postrm scripts are now generated in a reverse order than
546 preinst and postinst scripts. For example, if a package uses
547 dh_pysupport before dh_installinit, the prerm will first stop the init
548 script and then remove the python files.
549 * Introducing beginning of v6 mode.
550 * dh_installwm: In v6 mode, install a slave manpage link for
551 x-window-manager.1.gz. Done in v6 mode because some window managers
552 probably work around this longstanding debhelper bug by registering the
553 slave on their own. This bug was only fixable once programs moved out of
554 /usr/X11R6. Closes: #85963
555 * dh_builddeb: In v6 mode, fix bug in DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE handling, to work
556 the same as all the other code in debhelper. This could only be fixed in
557 v6 mode because packages may potentially legitimately rely on the old
558 buggy behavior. Closes: #242834

678 * Update of dh_python
679 - vastly refactored, easier to understand, and the difference
680 between old policy and new policy is easier to grasp
681 - it supports an -X option which can be used to not scan some files
682 - uses debian/pyversions as reference source of information for
683 dependencies but also parse the XS-Python-Version header as fallback.
684 - ${python:Versions}'s default value is XS-Python-Version's value
685 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
686 specific python version. Closes: #373853
687 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
688 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
690 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
691 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
692 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in
693 the not too-distant future).
694 DH_PYCOMPAT=1 is the default mode and is compatible to the old policy.
695 DH_PYCOMPAT=2 is the new mode and is compatible with the new policy.

1068 * debhelper v5 mode is finalised and the new recommended compatability
1069 level. Unless your package uses dh_strip --dbg-package, switching to v5
1070 is 99.999% unlikely to change anything in a package, and it allows
1071 adding comments to all your debhelper config files, so I recommend making
1072 the switch as soon as this version reaches testing.

2247 only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can then display new

2394 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2395 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2396 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2397 dh_install, which ...
2398 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2399 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2400 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2401 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2402 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2403 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2404 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2405 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2406 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2407 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2408 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2409 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2410 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2411 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2412 other minor changes.
2413 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2414 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2415 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2416 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2417 course there's -X ..)
2418 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2419 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2420 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2422 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2423 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2424 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2425 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2426 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2470 * Thanks to Benjamin Drieu <benj@debian.org>, dh_installdocs -X now works.
2471 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings
2472 now. Also, I made it continue to use cp -a if nothing is excluded,
2473 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2474 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2501 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2503 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2504 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2505 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2506 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2507 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2508 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2509 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2510 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2511 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2512 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2513 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2514 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2515 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends

2517 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi

2555 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2556 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2557 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2558 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2559 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2560 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2561 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2562 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some

2742 data, but it uses a different internal filename now). It will be merged
2743 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2744 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
2745 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
2746 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
2747 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
2748 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
2749 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

2775 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
2776 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
2777 program those options go to. So, for example,
2778 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you

2923 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
2924 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
2925 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
2926 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the

2984 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
2985 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
2986 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
2987 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..

2998 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice

3000 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3001 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3002 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3004 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3005 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3006 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3007 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3008 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3009 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3010 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3011 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3012 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3014 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3015 variable names, pod man pages).
3016 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3017 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3018 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3019 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3020 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3021 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3022 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3094 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3095 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).

3188 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3190 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3191 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3193 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3194 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3195 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.

3200 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3201 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3438 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3439 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3440 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3441 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3442 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3443 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3444 notice until v2 is complete.
3445 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3446 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3447 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3448 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3449 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3450 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3452 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.

3575 * Deprecated dh_installemavcsen --number; use --priority instead. Also,
3576 the option parser requires the parameter be a number now. And,
3577 dh_installwm now accepts --priority, and window manager packages should
3579 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads
3580 debian/<package>.wm too. This is a small behavior change; filenames
3581 specified on the command line no longer apply to all packages it acts
3582 on. I can't belive this program existed for 2 years with such a glaring
3583 problem; I guess most people don't need ot register 5 wm's in 3
3584 sub-packages. Anyway, it can handle such things now. :-)

3664 hard links, and was suid, suidregister detected all the hard links as
3665 files that need to be registered. It looped, registering the first
3666 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3667 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3668 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid
3669 bits until all files have been registered.

3679 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3680 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3681 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3682 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100
3683 - Always pass "-dDepends" before the list of files, which makes it
3684 easier to specify other -d parameters in the uparams, and doesn't
3685 otherwise change the result at all.
3687 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects
3688 exactly one package in unstable, biss-awt, which has had a bug filed
3689 against it for 200+ days now asking that it stop using the program.

3707 html changelog, it installs it as changelog.html.gz and dumps a plain
3708 text version to changelog.gz. The dumping is done with lynx.
3710 * Dh_Getopt.pm: Modified it so any options specified after -- are added to
3711 U_PARAMS. This means that instead of passing '-u"something nasty"' to
3712 dh_gencontrol and the like, you can pass '-- something nasty' without
3713 fiddling to get the quoting right, etc.

3807 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
3808 I made some changes, though:
3809 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
3810 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
3811 that is a clear violation of policy.
3812 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
3813 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
3814 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
3815 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
3816 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
3817 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
3818 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
3819 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
3820 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
3822 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

3866 though it's now uglier. Closes: 46287
3867 * examples/*: It's important that one -not- use a install-stamp target.
3868 Install should run every time binary-* calls it. Otherwise if a binary-*

3990 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
3991 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
3992 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
3993 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
3994 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
3995 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
3996 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

4318 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4319 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will

4335 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4336 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4733 * dh_installdocs: Added doc-base support, if debian/<package>.doc-base
4734 exists, it will be installed as a doc-base control file. If you use this,
4735 you probably want to add "dh_testversion 1.2.21" to the rules file to make
4736 sure your package is built with a new enough debhelper.

4739 suidregister actually supports it.

4757 of wn's truely ugly use of debhelper internals to get the same info (and

4948 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
4949 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
4950 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
4951 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5055 * It's come to my attention that a few packages use filename globbing in
5056 debian/{docs,examples,whatever} files and expect that to work. It used
5057 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5058 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5059 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).
5060 I apologize for the inconvenience.
5062 * dh_clean: fixed a bug, intorduced in version 1.1.8, where it didn't
5063 remove debian/files properly.
5064 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_testdir, dh_testroot, dh_testversion: converted to perl.

5066 doesn't have to be generated when a new version of debhelper is built.

5133 (blank lines in debian/docs file problem), although this same problem

5135 the same bug fixed when I rewrote it in perl just now.

5318 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5319 past week. Thanks, guys!
5321 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5322 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5323 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5324 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5325 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5326 would do in the same situation.
5327 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5328 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5330 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5332 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5333 permissions changed.
5334 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5335 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5336 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5337 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5338 files are treated identically.

5352 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5353 use -X multiple times, too.

5630 preference to debian/copyright, so subpackages with varying copyrights
5631 are supported. (#16935)

5660 of the shared library if it is guessed incorrectly.

5664 behavior modification - any files/directories specified on the command

5666 first package listed in debian/control, if you use -p to make it act on
5667 a given package, or -i or -a.
5668 * If you take advantage of the above new behavior, I suggest you add
5669 "dh_testversion 0.50" to your debian/rules.
5670 * Display a warning message in cases where the above behavior is triggered,
5671 and debhelper's behavior has altered.
5672 * I have grepped debian's source packages, and I'm quite sure this
5673 is not going to affect any packages currently in debian.
5674 * dh_lib: isnative() now caches its return value, which should optimize
5675 away several more calls to dpkg-parsechangelog.

5753 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
5754 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
5755 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
